Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups sugar, oil, eggs, milk and 1/4 cup rum until blended. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the rum mixture, stirring until combined. Stir in the walnuts.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan. Pierce cake from 15 to 20 times with a wooden skewer to prepare the cake for the rum glaze.
- Rum Glaze: In a saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter in water, then bring to a slow boil. Stir in 1 cup sugar and continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Let mixture cool for 5 minutes, then mix in 10 ounces rum. Let cool 15 minutes, then apply the rum glaze to the cake.
- To apply Rum Glaze: Gradually drizzle a small amount of the rum glaze over the top of the skewered cake while it is still in the pan. When the top of the cake cannot absorb any more glaze, turn it out of the pan and onto a plate to repeat the procedure on the bottom of the cake. Let the cake sit until the glaze has soaked in, then repeat the procedure from the beginning, putting the cake back into the pan to glaze the top. It may take 24 hours for the cake to completely absorb all of the rum glaze.

Steps:
- CAKE: Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare pan by carefully oiling and flouring the pan, I use sorghum flour usually. Spread pecans evenly around your bundt pan. Mix cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil, and rum in the bowl of a stand mixer for two minutes on medium speed. Increase the speed to high and beat for a minute longer. Pour over pecans in bundt pan. Bake for about 35 minutes, until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan while you make the glaze. GLAZE: Mix glaze ingredients in saucepan and bring to a low boil. Once all the sugar is dissolved, remove the pan from heat. Prick bottom of cake and slowly spoon about a fourth of the glaze over the bottom of the cake, being careful to make sure it doesn't run over the sides. Let the cake sit in the pan absorbing the glaze for about half an hour. After glaze is absorbed invert cake onto a plate. Pour the rest of the glaze over the top of the cake and let sit for at least an hour before serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality rum. The rum is the star of this cake, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a dark, aged rum with a rich flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a bundt pan. This will give the cake a classic shape and allow the rum to soak into the center of the cake.
- Glaze the cake while it's still warm. This will help the glaze soak into the cake and give it a shiny finish.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.
